    It never ends does it? I've had this '41 Ford panel for a year or so. Way back when I got it, Clark, Mikey, Jr and all the guys came over to get the small block in. It got in and it is just now getting on the road. Jr helped my TONS finishing this thing to get it going. I have a hand full of little stuff to finish up and the official Jalopy Showdown show junk hauler is good to go! Then Nappy tells me about this damn 1948 Airstream camper so...the next project is born.
    I think they look cool together but I know exactly dick about restoring a camper so this should be interesting!

    Thanks, I'm going to get the truck lettered for the antique business, real basic 40's style. Kim pretty much stripped the interior of the camper already, right down to pulling out all the floor. Clark know just a little TOO much about taking a camper apart!

    Thats a really nice looking Ford Panel. I like basic interiors on panel wagons and sedan deliveries, they mostly came no thrills from the factory. Do the Ford panels of that era have a wooden or metal frame on the inside side panels behind the seat?
    cheers

    Great looking combination.

    Step one - Fabricate a trailer hitch A friend in NJ has one he is working on the frame needs to be extended to get a strong trailer hitch out back.

    Looking forward to seeing it on the streets.

    Larry, you are going to have to remodel the warehouse and put a large garage door (oh and ramp) in.. as you have to be out of room for all your toys

    I always thought one of those campers would look great with an engine turned finish. Wouldn't that be cool?
